Can this be cleaned in the dishwasher?

No, hand wash only. The body is aluminum and the plates and blade are carbon steel so the dishwasher pit is discolor them. I oil (vegetable) the blade and plates when stored so they won't rust. This is a huge upgrade from the Kitchen Aid grinder I had that cracked after a couple years, the texture of the grind it excellent and it doesn't clog like the Kitchen Aid tended to.

Update on my gray chef's choice grinder dishwasher cycle. Chef's choice says it is still food safe, ok to use and definitely not the first time this happened. They said many dishwasher soaps and the heated drying cycles all contribute to "removing" the shiny surface. So . . .if you're unhappy with a shiny new aluminum grinder and prefer a "pewter gray"...

Information did not specifically say dishwasher safe, so I clean by hand which is fairly easy to do.

Well . . . it's possible. My neighbor borrowed my $150 Chef's choice grinder and cleaned it their dishwasher. The aluminum tray atop is now a rainbow/gray color. The auger and housing are all a deep gray now. I'm wondering if it's still food-safe? I think if there was not a heated drying cycle invollved . . . this may have been ok. I'm just sick.

No, it is not to be washed in the dishwasher. Clean up is so easy. Hand washes easily.....that's the main reason I bought it. Most of the time I simply wipe the the food debris out with a paper towel and then give it a quick hand wash.

The carafe is small enough that I just wash it at the sink. But I see no reason that it can't be cleaned in the dishwasher.

The little booklet that comes with it says it's dishwasher safe. I've always hand-washed it though, so I'm not sure, but suspect it would clean thoroughly in the dishwasher!

Yes. I clean mine about every 2weeks in the dishwasher. I put it on the top rack.

We cleaned ours by hand - not sure if it would be okay in the dishwasher. The only part that disassembles for cleaning is the bottom part that it rests in. Pretty easy clean though

I don't put it in the dishwasher - I wash it with soap and water in the sink. This seems to work very well.

I hand washed mine. But I don't see why you couldn't put it in the dish washer.

I have always just hand washed, however I don't see why it couldn't be cleaned in the dishwasher.

I put it in the dishwasher all the time and have had no problems. I don't remember reading anything on the packaging that said it couldn't go in the dishwasher.

Yes. I washed mine in the dishwasher many times. Be sure to disassemble it first before putting on the TOP RACK of the dishwasher..

Sorry, I do not know if it can go in the dishwasher. Hopefully you will have more luck than I did. I ordered this item twice and returned it both times as it came damaged in both instances.

Yes, the pan can be put in the dishwasher. Just make sure nothing metal could scrape it.

I don't have a dishwasher. I don't see why it wouldn't be safe in a dishwasher though.

I have not washed it in the dishwasher. It would probably be the only thing that would fit in it at one time. Also, dishwasher solution could discolor the finish. I don't recommend it.

I put mine in the dishwasher and it still works fine. I don't remember seeing any any directions saying that it isn't dishwasher safe.

Can be cleaned in the dishwasher in the upper rack only. I don't know if it comes clean as I wash mine by hand.
